you are bound to be disappointed as peace and traquility are the only things on the menu here

Visitors are encouraged to climb Mount Snowdon and the information centre and gift shop at the base provide

maps of different trails with average times for ascent and descent, and the effort required to climb at different

inclinations around the mountain. At the summit, although only open in season, is a cafe, shop and other necessary

facilities such as toilets. If you go out of season, I'm afraid that you'll have to pop behind some rocks to relieve

yourself  But the effort whenever you go in the year is definitely worth it

For those who do not want to walk, or are not able to walk, there is the

Snowdon Mountain railway  >

which for a small charge, will take you up and down the mountain in their old-fashioned steam train

along the track used by miners and when thay built the facilities at the summit. anyone can enjoy Snowdon at any age

There is the option to take the train up and walk back down or vice versa if you choose

although there is much more satisfaction in having climbed up yourself

this is one of the most breathtaking areas of natural beauty in Britain on par with the Scottish Highlands

It is really something you have to experience for yourself as it is difficult to find words to describe such a place

Photographs cannot even do justice to the spectacular panoramic views of undamaged wilderness in this secluded area

North Wales  >

Even the air is different here. There is a real sense of what Britain's green and pleasant lands used to look like before urbanisation

Obviously, not mountains, but fields, woodlands, animals and birds in a natural environment
 

If you choose to stay in the area there is a lovely little village a few miles east of

Snowdon  >                              Betws-y-coed  >

There is a large river running through this small country village, and if you follow this river a mile up the road

you come to a small attraction called Swallow Falls. It is a breathtaking, natural waterfall set amongst woodland

For a charge of £1 (which pays for the upkeep of the area), you can go right in and see the falls at close range

Steps and a viewing area have been cut into the bank of the river right next to the fall and you can sit and dream for as long as you want

Natural features are always the most stunning, and this is the perfect place to say goodbye to the area if you are leaving

Snowdonia and it's  surroundings is an incredible place that really has to be seen to be appreciated to the full extent of its beauty

we would recommend this place to families It will leave you with the most incredible memories, and to most people

I have met who have been there, it is a little piece of perfection that  you'll hold in the sentimental side of you

and definitely want to visit again

North Wales used to be one of our favourite haunts, unfortunately we dont get back as often as we would like
